ChatGPT and Roblox Set to Be Included Among EU's Strictest Platform Regulations

EU regulators appear set to include ChatGPT and Roblox in the Very Large Online Platform (VLOP) category, which is subject to the strictest regulation.

This measure follows the EU's Digital Services Act (DSA), under which these platforms will be required to comply with enhanced obligations including content moderation, transparency, and systemic risk management.

Key details are as follows:

• Content management: Establishing strict controls and rapid response systems for harmful content and illegal information
• Algorithmic transparency: Explaining to users how recommendation algorithms work and granting them choice
• Systemic risk mitigation: Regularly assessing and responding to the negative impact a platform's design may have on public discourse or democratic processes

This decision means that large platforms operating generative AI models will bear responsibility not merely as service providers, but as systemically important platforms with significant social influence.
